The Lansing School District Equine Center for Learning has offered unique opportunities to Lansing learners for many years. Our herd — which consists of nine full-sized horses, and four miniature horses — loves to make our students feel comfortable and safe, which increases academic engagement and fosters personal growth and life-long learning.
Connecting with a horse strengthens the body, fortifies the mind, and nourishes the soul, and our programming — which is open to all Lansing-area residents — supports the development of important life skills such as responsibility, empathy, self-control and leadership.
OUR PROGRAMS
- Pathway-Aligned Experiences that open up academic content in dynamic, new ways.
- After-School & Summer Enrichment Programs that focus on academic growth, and horsemanship.
